1-3 Installation of the CPU and Heatsink

English

Before installing the CPU, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the motherboard supports the CPU.

2. Please take note of the pin one marks on the processor and socket. If you install the CPU in the wrong direction, the CPU will not insert properly. If this occurs, please change the insert direction of the CPU.

3. Please add an even layer of heat sink paste between the CPU and heatsink.

4. Please make sure the heatsink is installed on the CPU prior to system use, otherwise overheating and permanent damage of the CPU may occur.

5. Please set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the processor specifications. It is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications since it does not meet the required standards for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the proper specifications, please do so according to your hardware specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

HT functionality requirement content :

Enabling the functionality of Hyper-Threading Technology for your computer system requires all of the following platform components:

- CPU: An Intel® Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology

- Chipset: An Intel® Chipset that supports HT Technology

- BIOS: A BIOS that supports HT Technology and has it enabled

- OS: An operation system that has optimizations for HT Technology

1-3-1 Installation of the CPU

Raise the processor socket handle to 65 degrees.

Fully raise the processor socket handle.

1. Raise the processor socket handle to 65 degrees. You maybe feel a kind of tight.

GA-8GEM800 Motherboard - 12 -

2. Raise the processor socket handle all the way up to a fully raised position (around 90 degrees) till you hear a "click."

3. Locate the Pin One Indicator on the processor.

4. Locate Pin One in the socket and

look for a (golden) cut edge on the CPU upper corner. Then insert the CPU into the socket and close the socket handle.

1-3-2 Installation of the Heatsink

1. Push down the cooler clip to secure to the retention mechanism hooks for all four corners.

0 Please use Intel® approved cooling fan.

00 00

0 We recommend you to apply the thermal tape to provide better heat conduc

tion between your CPU and heatsink. (The CPU cooling fan might stick to the CPU due to the hardening of the thermal paste. During this condition if you try to remove the cooling fan, you might pull the processor out of the CPU socket alone with the cooling fan, and might damage the processor. To avoid this from happening, we suggest you to either use thermal tape in stead of thermal paste, or remove the cooling fan with extreme caution.)

0 Make sure the CPU fan power cable is plugged in to the CPU fan connector,

this completes the installation.

0 Please refer to CPU heat sink user’s manual for more detail installation

procedure.

2. Plug the cooler power cable into the CPU fan

connector on the motherboard.

1-4 Installation of Memory

Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions:

1. Please make sure that the memory used is supported by the motherboard. It is recommended that memory of similar capacity, specifications and brand be used.

2. Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer power is switched off to prevent hardware damage.

3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the direction.

The motherboard has 2 dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automatically detects memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the DIMM socket. The DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the notch. Memory size can vary between sockets.

DDR memory module

1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM memory module can only fit in one direction.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it down.

3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
